“The new year is not real. It’s an artificial, made up event. Nothing has really changed. Nothing has actually happened. In actuality, every single day is a new year…because one year has elapsed since that day, one year earlier.”

Ryan Holiday, writer and media strategist

1 out of 4 CEOs report they do NOT have the right talent to enable adoption of AI…

Global CEO Advisory firm, Teneo, just dropped their 2024 CEO and Investor Outlook, and while Taylor Swift wasn't on their survey list, they did chat with CEOs and investors managing a cool $3.4 trillion.

Here's the DL: “1 out of 4 CEOs report they do NOT have the right talent to enable adoption of AI”

AI's topping the tech investment charts, but there's a scramble to tackle the security, legal, and compliance beast it's unleashing. Seeing AI being used by everyone from tech-savvy teens to non-techy pros is a real eye-opener.

2024's mantra? AI-enables your work, boosts productivity, and lets humans focus on what humans do best…like get emotional with each other.

Oh and speaking of 2024 predictions: Do you think Bud Light will make a comeback in 2024? More AI predictions below…

The World Excel Championship in Las Vegas is becoming a thing…

Did you catch wind of the World Excel Championship in Las Vegas the other day? If pivot tables get your heart racing, you could be gunning for a $15K prize.

Big props to Andrew "The Annihilator" Ngai, the spreadsheet wizard bagging his third title and a sweet wrestling championship belt. Bill Gates should be proud…

The bigger news is that Microsoft Excel is officially an esport. In this game, eight players are given a big ream of data, plus a set of instructions. Players then need to create formulas and subsets to process the data, working against the clock to solve stages of the case and earn points. Every 7.5 minutes the lowest score is eliminated.

But watch out, Andrew – an AI bot's got its digital eyes on that throne.
